The Petwood Hotel, Woodhall Spa
Once home to the famous Dambusters Squadron, the Petwood is more than just a hotel. The building started its life in the 19th century, when springs were discovered below it, adding the Spa to the village of Woodall and attracting wealthy Victorian visitors. Over the years kings and queens, opera singers and actors have stayed at the Hotel and, in 1942, it became the headquarters of RAF 617 Squadron, otherwise known as The Dambusters. The Squadron Bar has a range of memorabilia and tributes to Guy Gibson VC, Leonard Cheshire VC and their officers. The 30 acres of gardens were originally designed by Harold Peto, and you can even see a prototype bouncing bomb in the memorial garden. All bedrooms are elegantly furnished, with generous-sized beds and tea/coffee making facilities. The Hotel has a lift.
